System & Architecture Requirements of software developed under the technical platform SAFE X3 V6.20 3/15 1 Technical Architecture 1.1 Generalities The application software developed with the technological platform SAFE X3 Version 6 (Sage Architecture For the Enterprise) Sage HR Management Sage ERP X3 - standard & premium editions Sage Geode Sage FRP Fixed Asset Used a technical architecture organised in layers and designed to separate the layers of data management, process execution and the presentation (3-tier architecture) spreading the load across one or more servers once the application is intended for a large number of users (scalability objective) providing an implementation choice of different technical platforms and databases making possible a transactional utilisation through a graphical interface, which can either be a Windows "client" or a Web "browser" 1.2 Description of the resources All the resources described here under are logical components, which can be all installed under the same physical computer or distributed across several machines according to the number of users to be connected, the size of the database and the number of transactions to be treated. This model of distributed architecture offers an intrinsic high level of scalability. 1.2.1 Database Server Stores both the application data and the description data for this application (dictionary). This database is organised as a hierarchy of folders, where the root folder is the image of the standard delivery and the other folders are the "customer" folders, generated from the root folder and each representing an application. SAFE X3 V6 technological platform products are developed according to the database editor recommendations, which guarantee the integrity and the coherence of the data stored into the database. There is no limit of size for the database usually the average size for the database can reach 20 to 30GB up to 100GB for the bigger. To reduce the size of the database there are some functions to be used for purging or archiving the biggest tables. 1.2.2 Application & Main Processes Server Gives access to all the elements (processes, screens, reports...) that make up the applications. These elements are organised in directories by folder and are not repeated

System & Architecture Requirements of software developed under the technical platform SAFE X3 V6.20 4/15 from mother folder to daughter folder except when they truly belong to the daughter folder, otherwise it is the element from the mother folder that is used, remembering that only 3 folder levels are managed in this way. A sub-group of application server elements are published via a http server called the solution publication server. Under an architecture where there is no additional Process Server, it s the Application & main Process Server which is in charge of the execution of processes, excluding anything that is involved in the "presentation", which is directly under the control of the "clients" workstation or the frontal servers Web/Citrix XenApp/Microsoft Terminal Service. It s also on the Application & main Process Server under which is running the Sage X3 Batch Service in charge of batch processes launching and execution. 1.2.3 Additional Processes Server(s) That are the resources in charge of the execution of processes, excluding anything that is involved in the "presentation", which is directly under the control of the "clients" workstation or the frontal servers Web/Citrix XenApp/Microsoft Terminal Service. In order to distribute the load (CPU and memory), it is possible to install as many process servers as necessary, remembering that the user will have to specify in their workstation configuration, the process server that they plan to use. 1.2.4 Print Server It is a computer which can accept print jobs from external client computers connected to the print server over a network. The print server then sends the data to the appropriate printer or other destinations (pdf, doc, xls, prn, ) that it manages. When using Web Client Workstations all prints are submitted to the Print Server which becomes a mandatory component in your architecture. The Print Server can be deployed on Windows 2003 and above. A Windows service is started on the computer which hold the Print Server, this service is listening all print jobs submitted by other client computers (C/S or Web Workstations or Sage X3 Batch Server). This service is running on default port number 1890 but it can be modified during installation step. This service can manage up to 8 concurrent print ouput queues. 1.2.5 Business Objects Server It is the server which hold the Application Software : Business Objects Entreprise XI and eventually the data warehouse. The function of the data warehouse is to consolidate information from the Sage X3 production database to provide a context for reporting on, requesting and analyzing. The Business Object Server can be deployed on Windows 2000 and above. If the data warehouse is stored under another machine than the BO Server, it will be mandatory to install on the BO Server an Oracle Client Net 11 or an ODBC Driver for SQL Server 1.2.6 Java Bridge It is the bridge server which could be used for publishing some external functions to the Sage Application Server. Those external functions are based on framework OSGI Equinox

System & Architecture Requirements of software developed under the technical platform SAFE X3 V6.20 5/15 and might be used to extend the standard available functionalities by developing new OSGI plug-in. This component allows also to call External Web Services (SOAP, REST) and to send Rich Mail (including pictures, attached documents, etc ), from Sage X3 Application Software. 1.2.7 Web Server It is the frontal server to be addressed by the end-users to open a session into Sage X3 application through the Microsoft browser Internet Explorer. Web server is not in fact attached to a solution but can be used within the framework of N solutions as long as they maintain a good technical level. Conversely it is possible to have several web servers for the same process server 1.2.8 Citrix XenApp / Microsoft Terminal Service Servers Citrix XenApp Server or Microsoft Terminal Services Server are remote access/application publishing product that allows users to connect to applications available from central servers. One advantage of publishing applications is that it lets user connect to these applications remotely, from their homes, airport Internet kiosks and other devices outside of their corporate networks. 1.2.9 Client Workstation It s a computer equipped with Windows Client Operating System which is required to connect into one of the application of the SAFE X3 V6 technological platform products. 1.2.10 Mail Server or SMTP Bridge A Mail Server is a computer program or software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another. Mail servers move and store mail over corporate networks, via LANs and WANs and across the Internet. Sage X3 users are not directly in contact with the Mail Server but used a mail client application (like: Outlook), or another binary program in charge of contacting the Mail Server to send electronic mail messages. SMTP is a relatively simple, text-based protocol used by the client to communicate with the Mail Server. In the daily usage of the Sage X3 Application Software, the existence of a Mail Server is strongly recommended for the good working of the Workflow functionalities. 1.2.11 Mail Client The usage of some functions like Print Message, which allows the application to send the result of a print as an attached document to a mail, it is required that the X3 Client Workstation have an access to a local MAPI Client Software such as Outlook express or Outlook. For users having the application Safe X3 Client C/S installed under their local Workstation, it s required to configure an Outlook MAPI Client Software locally on the machine.

System & Architecture Requirements of software developed under the technical platform SAFE X3 V6.20 6/15 For users working with the X3 C/S interface from a remote session opened on a frontal server (Citrix or Microsoft TSE), it s also required to configure an Outlook MAPI Client Software inside the remote session of each user. For users using the Web Client Interface from their local Workstation, the configuration of the Outlook MAPI Client Software should be made on the Print Server. This Outlook MAPI Client Software must be configured to work in silent mode (easy to realise with Outlook Express) and the mails containing the result of the print will be send to a generic mail account like noreply@... as example. 1.3 Network requirements A Gigabit link is necessary between the different servers which will host the Sage applications. These servers must all be part of an Active Directory Domain, and be part of the same branch (same IP address range). Only exception: the frontal servers : Web (Sage), Microsoft Terminal Service or Citrix XenApp, which can be part of a DMZ-type sub-network. When some machines on the internal network need to be accessible from the outside, it is often necessary to create a new interface to a separate network, accessible both from the inside and from the outside, without putting the whole enterprise security at risk. "DMZ" or DeMilitarized Zone designates this isolated area, which hosts applications accessible to the public. The different servers must also be registered in a DNS domain, allowing the different machines as well as the client workstations using the C/S interface to recognize the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) of the servers, including that of Unix-Linux machines, and allowing the servers to recognize the FQDN of the client workstations. The configuration of the DNS servers must allow for the registration of the client workstations in the reverse DNS areas. The servers under which will be installed the Sage components should not be used as Windows Domain Controller (DC) as well as Primary or Backup Domain Controller. The Safe X3 components talk to each other through sockets. In case of timeout or disconnection due to security components like firewalls, some Sage components are able to retrieve the socket connection for some other components, the Sage parameters needs to be modified in order to synchronize the timeout of the user s connection with the firewall rules. If you are in this case, we suggest you check first if everything is working properly, otherwise change the firewall rules so that sockets are not disconnected or closed. We also strongly advise to force to the same values the speed and transfer modes between the network card(s) installed on the servers and the ports of the switch(es). 1.4 Development environment - development Workbench : Safe X3 Framework - development language for the Client/Server Interface : C, C++, VB - development language for the Web Interface : javascript, ActiveX, HTML - development language for the application software : Sage X3 4GL - the exchange protocol between the Client and the Web Server is pure HTTP and Sage Web application interface is built on a technology like Ajax
